When His Eyes Opened (Elliott and Avery) novel Chapter 727

Avery trembled as she walked toward the black headstone…

“Avery! Don’t look!” Mrs. Cooper snapped out of her shock and quickly blocked the headstone from view, not letting Avery catch a glimpse.

Avery quickly rushed over to Mrs. Cooper and shoved her aside.

“I want to see it… Show me!”

Before Mrs. Cooper blocked the headstone, she had already clearly seen the white text engraved on it.

The words read “Here Lies Robert Foster”!

Robert was still alive! Who would send such a thing to disgust her?!

“Avery… Whoever sent this must have had cruel intentions! Let’s call the police!” Mrs. Cooper held onto Avery’s trembling yet rigid body as she consoled her. 

“You would be falling for their trap if you got too upset! You have to stay clear-headed, Avery! Robert is still alive! No matter what anyone says, he’s still perfectly alive!”

Mrs. Cooper’s words instantly shattered Avery’s emotions that she fought so hard to control.

She held onto Mrs. Cooper and cried hoarsely, “Robert’s in critical condition… I can’t save Robert… I can’t save him… I let him down… I won’t forgive myself if he dies….”

Mrs. Cooper’s eyes reddened as she said, “Life and death are unavoidable, Avery. If Robert truly doesn’t make it, it must be because heaven awaits him with a better life. Don’t blame yourself. Whoever’s fault it is, it can’t possibly be yours. Nobody loves Robert more than you do.”

Over at the hospital, Elliot’s emotions instantly crumbled the moment he saw his son.

With reddened eyes, he held back his tears and found the doctor.

“Why won’t my blood work?” he asked in a strained voice. 

“Why would twins have different blood types? Even if they weren’t the same type, the difference shouldn’t be that large…”

“Mr. Foster, twins are categorized into identical and fraternal twins. In the case of the latter, there is indeed a possibility of the twins having different blood types. As long as their blood types are different, there will be huge discrepancies,” answered the doctor. 

“I know you are very upset, Mr. Foster, but not every premature child gets to live. Miss Tate are still young, you could still…”

“I won’t give up on Robert!” Elliot snapped, cutting him off.

The doctor pursed his lips and did not know how to continue.

“Doctor, would someone who once had a serious illness and underwent several brain surgeries be able to donate blood?”

He refused to give up on Robert! He was terrified that Avery would not be able to handle his death.

This was why the idea of allowing Shea to donate her blood to Robert materialized in his head.

However, his idea was quickly shot down by the doctor.

“Of course not! The blood donor must be in good health. Someone who’s had a severe illness won’t have the same physical fitness as a regular person. Rashly donating blood like that could cause serious damage to the donor’s body!”

The little light that was left in Elliot’s eyes instantly vanished.

He would not let Shea take that risk.

As for Robert, he felt extremely guilty.

It was his dream to be a good father. In the end, he was the one who would directly cause the death of his own son!
